Zither - This stringed instrument has the appearance of a cross between a harp and a portable piano (sort of). The zither is placed on the musician's knees or a table, or played by a special type of pick that covers the player's thumb and index finger to pick the strings. Are you familiar with this instrument?

Glass Armonica - an instrument made up of different sized glass bowls that are played with a resonated glove. It works on the same principle as the musical glasses party trick – glass surfaces with different amounts of resistance produce a different pitch when friction is introduced. It is not known who first invented the glass armonica, but Benjamin Franklin built his famous mechanical version in 1761. Are you familiar with this instrument?

Zuesaphone - An electronic instrument that modulates the output of a tesla coil to produce sound. This manipulation causes an impressive spark of lightning to emit from the instrument when it makes a sound. However, the sound it produces is not within a pitch that the human ear can hear, so it must be digitally modulated to be audible. Are you familiar with this unusual instrument?

Theremin - an electronic instrument that has two metal antennas that produce an electromagnetic field. The player never actually touches the instrument as the movement of the musician's hands in the electromagnetic field creates different tones. Even if you have not heard of it, you are likely familiar with the sound it produces. The 'unearthly' sounding vibration was used in Hollywood studios during the 1950s and 1960s in science fiction and horror movies. Imagine a black and white alien invasion film with the wavering whine of a flying saucer. Are you familiar with this one?
